Runners to follow on Twitter

So, are you a runner? Are you on Twitter?

Do you know a runner.... on Twitter?

One of the cool things I have found on Twitter (Follow me) is the community of runners I have found so far. I have searched and found some, and then found some that they were following, etc, etc. But I would like to build that group a little more for both inspiration and motivation.

I know I have not been able to bring much to the conversations on Twitter concerning running, but I promise to be more of a community runner.... once I can start running again.

If you are a runner please respond with your twitter address so others can follow you. If you know of any runners that twitter, why not give them a boost of followers as well by listing their address.

To make it even more fun and see how much we can get this to grow, when you follow someone you have found here, let them know where you found them.

mines keeponrunning although 99% of my post are not running related :) I use it as my blog of my lifes happenings, and, well, I'm not running most of the time.

we're already hooked up on twitter, but thought I'd comment and leave it to say HI to others.

Take it easy,
Andrew

Hello again, Tim,
My twitters aren't always running-related (I've got 5 blogs, of which one is about running! ;-)), but I do twitter often about running. My handle is "cyberpenguin." Big surprise. ;-) Of course you & Andrew are two of the runners I follow! ;-)

John at Hella Sound said...

I'm @hellasound on Twitter.

BUT, we also have a little Twitter app for Hella Sound--the Twitter username is @GoRun, and it allows you to direct message your tweets to www.HellaSound/GoRun. Share your workouts, your races, links to resources and blog posts--go nuts. You can also comment on anyone's Tweets as if they were blog posts.

I know folks sometimes post questions or look for feedback from other runners on there, so it's a good place to share your expertise.

Great topic (AGAIN) Tim! Good stuff!

adamengst said...

Ach, I wish I'd found this thread while I was training for the New York City Marathon this past summer (ran a 2:48:00 for my first marathon - even got the "fastest CEO" notable in New York Runner Magazine :-)). Right after New York, I went to the doctor, got my low abdominal pain diagnosed as a hernia, had the surgery, and now have to wait until March before I can run again. So not many running-related tweets until I can start training again, but I tweet at http://twitter.com/adamengst (mostly Apple- and cooking-related topics when I can't run).

cheers... -Adam
